well, if you have a long and complex function declaration which

$GLOBALS['whatever'] everywhere it would be trivial.
Indeed.
I don't really care how long the function is.
$connection is a global in the scripts.
It's the only global there is.
It's a global in any function that needs it.
If I can't remember that from day to day, then I need to find a nurse

I feel sorry for anyone that ever inherits your code. You're making
their life needlessly more difficult. I've inherited enough code in my
time to appreciate the extra effort to create readable and maintainable
code.
